the 2015 Poetry Bomb Janet Kuypers Poetry readings

the Chicago 2015 Poetry Bomb
“Bases Loaded”
Janet Kuypers in front of Wrigley Field

    Located at Wrigley Field (in Chicago, Illinois) Janet Kuypers read poetry in an effort to get poetry out into the streets — too often writers read their work at poetry open mics and features, but things poetic can be seen everywhere in the world... This is why in this repeating annual venture, poets go out somewhere where people usually don’ read poetry, to perform it for people that are otherwise going about other business).

    After making the decision to read poetry in front of a well-known baseball field, Janet Kuypers decided in the two days before the 2015 Poetry Bomb to write poems about baseball (which is a very different mix of poetry from her usual writings).

    The day of the reading, Kuypers also released (via Scars Publications, as a supplement release to cc&d magazine) a chapbook that she titled “Bases Loaded” an online PDF file chapbook the day of the event of the 2015 Poetry Bomb (available as a free download any time).

nbsp;   There are also two additional web page listings for the videos from this show — one is at Scars Video (at www.artvilla.com/scars), and the other is from the main listing at artvilla.
